> Today's summer homes are so much more different. I've seen a lot of those families I knew back then sell their homes over time. Developers scoop up several properties in a row and build some huge McMansion.

Exactly. Lake Winnipesaukee is a playground for the rich now. No one is selling seasonal properties on Cape Cod anymore, they've all been converted to condo developments or year-round homes starting at $500-$600k and often well over $1m.

> Lake Winnipesaukee

This is exactly what I was picturing when I said McMansion. We took the family on a trip there a few years back and rented a boat. Riding around the lake was eye opening. Especially when you'd see one of the smaller old style multi-generational family homes squeezed in the middle of 2 behemoths.
